Introduction. Let be the complex separable Hilbert space. We say that the closed linear operator T, with domain dense in. , is represented by the infinite matrix H if T is the operator T˜1(H) defined† by H (with respect to some complete orthonormal set). We define an (nJ)-matrix as a Hermitian matrix H = [hij]i, j ≥ 1 for which hij = 0 when i − j > n and hij ╪ 0 when i − j = n. (Thus a Jacobi matrix is a (1J)-matrix.) If, in addition, hij = 0 when 0 < i − j < n, we call H an (nJ ┴)-matrix.
